The
Philips AVENT Fast Baby Bottle Warmer is without a doubt the best warmer on the market because it heats the milk thoroughly, is super easy to use, and protects breast milk's nutrients.
With Philips' AVENT bottle warmer, all you have to do is add water to the reservoir, turn the dial, and wait three minutes. It circulates the water continuously to avoid hot spots, giving it a high safety score. Nothing is worse than accidentally feeding your baby scalding milk.
This gentle method ensures even heating and preserves breast milk's nutrients. The AVENT has a defrost mode for frozen milk, too. It's critical to keep in mind that the amount of time it takes to warm a bottle will depend on whether the fluid is cold or frozen, how much is in the bottle, and what kind of container is used. Three minutes might not work each time, but overall reviews on Babylist, The Bump, and Amazon all mention the AVENT works fast and heats nicely.
The bottle warmer fits AVENT bottles and a variety of others, including Tommee Tippee and Comotomo. You can also warm baby food in the warmer, providing a more natural heating option than the microwave. At a price point of about $25 to $40, you really are getting your money's worth.
While the simple and practical design makes it easy to warm milk in the middle of the night, the warmer doesn't have a timer. Instead, it has a blinking light to signal when the milk is ready. If you're not careful, you could miss the flash and overheat the liquid. I used a timer on my phone or the stove to solve this concern.
I'm not the only one who loves the Phillips AVENT. It's one of Mom's Top Picks 2018 on Baby Center. They asked 87,000 discerning parents to choose a warmer, and the AVENT won. It's also the top bestseller on Amazon for Baby Bottle Sterilizers & Warmers with about 1,580 reviews at an average 3.9-star rating. One reviewer called it "the fastest, best bottle warmer I HAVE EVER HAD!"
Pros: Super-easy to use, consistent temperatures, affordable, bottle compatibility, high-quality, fast heating, easy to clean
Cons: No loud timer, low-tech
